Re: XMLfo2pdf

I have developed working from the examples a java app that streams the binary data to standard output, the default one however requires u to save the file then readfile, this removes that process and u just have to passthru, It would seem highly logical to implement that into XMLfo2pdf therefore I will give it a go. I also found a tool called html2fo which will convert pure html to a FO file for reading. There is also an xslt stylesheet on the web called xhtml2fo.xsl it requires a bit of work, still yet to get that working with a pure html file. So there are two possibilities here, one generating the fo then passing it to the java app, another sending the contents of the html file as an argument ?? together with that xsl file, it transforms and spits back the pdf as standard output. However i still need to tweak some loggin that goes on to System.out ! On 05/05/2005, at 10:57 AM, James Carr wrote:

Well, you could just install the commandline version of Apache XSL-FOP and use a pipe or some other method to execute it and generate the pdf. XSL-FO is a standard though, I am suprised someone hasn't written a pure php version (to memory expensive perhaps?). I wrote a small parser that converts an xml document into an object that you can set text to named fields, and generate a pdf, but it's pretty adhoc and designed pretty much for generating application forms.

Hmm the last cvs update was 2 years ago, I found something similar, saves the pain of manually drawing grids with fpdf, it uses fpdf but has its own xsl style markup language :) http://pdml.sourceforge.net Anyone seen this before ? -- PEAR General Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
